A Mother’s Beatitudes Sheet

Fold your tablecloth in half. Place your magazine or catalog on the tablecloth. You’ll be cutting out 2 squares from this. Cut out a square about 1 1/2-2 inches wider than the magazine. You don’t want too much of an edge because then the magazine will slide around too much. The plastic part of the tablecloth will be the outside covering.
Take the 2 plastic squares and the one magazine and make a “sandwich ” putting the magazine in the middle. You can use large straight pins to hold all the “sandwich” pieces in place. Once you have done this, using the hole punch, make openings equally spaced all around the perimeter of the “sandwich “.
Thread the sewing needle with the chosen yarn. Make a knot and start sewing through the holes. This will keep the “sandwich” together. After going all away around the perimeter of the rectangle end with a knot.

Use this poem to make a footprint picture for Dad.

Type out the poem on one side of a piece of paper and make enough copies.
Have the children put their footprint or prints on the other side of the paper and draw a pretty boarder.
Glue the picture onto a piece of construction paper.
Staple some yarn on the top to hang the picture.
Poem: “Walk a little slower daddy,” said a child so small.
“I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they’re hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you.
